You’re listening to Voices of Your Village, and today I get to share a truly special conversation with someone I admire deeply—Lake Bell. You might know her as an actor, director, and creator, but in this episode, we connect as two parents navigating the beautiful, messy work of raising humans—especially kids who don’t always fit the mold.

Lake and I dive into what it looks like to parent neurodivergent kids with curiosity and compassion. We talk about the emotional rollercoaster of receiving a diagnosis, the grief and the gifts, and how we can shift from focusing on what’s “wrong” to seeing what’s wonderfully different. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s one of those conversations that reminds me why we do this work—why connection matters more than perfection, and how embracing the whole child, just as they are, can change everything.

Lake also has a beautiful children’s book out called All About Brains—and y’all, it’s become one of our favorites on the bookshelf. I love how she illustrates what it looks like to empower kids to understand their brains and bodies and to advocate for themselves with confidence and clarity.

All right, village—let’s dive in.
